We’ve all heard voicemail. We’ve all “talked” to voicemail. Here are some basic rules relating to voicemail:
- Be brief.
- Repeat your name.
- Repeat your number.
- Be polite.
- Call once and wait for the return call.
Get to the point: “Hi, this is Paul Maynard of Zachry Associates at 214-675-0500. We met at last evening’s event and I’d like to talk with you further. I can be reached at 214-675-0500. This is Paul Maynard and I await your return call. Thank you.
No muss. No fuss. No being afraid to talk with the machine.
be sure and smile when you speak–it comes across in the message.
Relentless
